UNESCO World Heritage Site, the fortress city of Carcassonne in southern France recently received a spunky makeover on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. Swiss artist Felice Varini was commissioned by France’s Centre des Monuments Nationaux to put up this installation. Aptly named “Concentric Concentric” the installation features concentric yellow circles throughout the building.
